Update
Eh, maybe we should go to Japan for a ball trip... I rem the last time I went to Hokkaido, it was dam pen. Anyway Sen, I guess it doesn't really matter if the woman you're meant to be with isn't your dream girl... afterall how many people actually end up with the ideal partner of their dreams. I think what matters is that you're happy and contented with what you have. I think its always nice to have this 'dream girl' to sort of fantasize about, being ideal and all (secretly) and if one day you ever end up with this dream girl of yours, maybe she'll end up not to be that much of a dream girl anymore. I dunno.
Moving on to Koonardo's medical update, the 3rd cycle has began and the results are looking good. However, the MRI scan for the brain shows more legions inside with higher intensity (meaning risk of seizure), but the doctor suspects that its due to blood clotting, since I have 2 blood clotting disorders inherited from both parents or either one. So I have to take blood thinners like Aspirin and this tablet called Xaretto which is super small and costs 20 dollars per tablet. GG meds.
- MRI showed that whole body cept chest is free of Lymphoma.
- The CT scan shows that the tumour in my chest has been reduced by 35%. I was kinda disappointed, coz I expected a larger decrease in size.
- But, good news is my cancer marker, CA125, has dropped to 19 from the original 92 (normal person is from 1-30), meaning that most of the cancerous cells are gone.
- Doctor says that what is remaining in my chest could be a harmless scar tissue. I would have to do a biopsy to make sure, but he said its not advisable. Looking at markers is safer. He also said that I may be in UCR (unconfirmed complete remission) already.
- Things that need to be fixed are my blood counts and immunity system, platelates are high so I have to be on antiplatelate medication too. So it looks like prolly one more cycle after this one and I will be more or less done.
- I will recover no matter what.
I would just like to say I am dam lucky to have found this doctor, he is really pro at this shit, though his drug fees are sky high... and he's really dedicated too.
Nigel just landed this morning at 7 and already sms'ed me to ask if he can come visit. I am touched. *tear
